Chapter 2 Color Gray Black HP NetServer AA Overview Table 2-7 MIC Port State Display Lights State Unknown/ Unavailable Uninitialized Description This state occurs only on CE MIC ports. It indicates that, from the IOP's perspective, no information about the state of this port has been received. Normally the CE MIC firmware relays the local port status to the IOP MICs. This does not occur, however, until the CE MICs are powered on and able to establish communication. The MIC hardware has not sensed any fiber signals through the fiber connector since the IOP or CE has booted. Mirrored Disk States The mirrored disk states are: Table 2-8 Mirrored Disk States State Online Offline Description Indicates that a disk is available for use or is currently in use by the CE operating system. As a mirror copy begins, a mirror copy target transitions from offline to online and remains online when the mirror copy completes successfully. However, if the copy cannot complete successfully because of some system-wide state change or because of a disk level state change, the disk state transitions to offline or faulted. Indicates that a disk is not available for use by the CE operating system. A disk can be offline because either: • The disk is the target of a mirror copy that is pending (not started). • The disk was not detected during system boot. Possible reasons include the disk was powered off, failed, or was improperly defined using the Endurance Configuration Utility. • The disk was detected during system boot, but a characteristic of the disk was invalid. Possible reasons include: a corrupt or invalid partition table, a corrupt or invalid partition, or the disk was the target of a mirror copy that previously failed to complete. • The mirror copy target is too small for a given mirror copy source. In this case, the target disk remains offline indefinitely and must be replaced by a larger disk. 27
